Excerpt from Remarks on Literary Property
Some may think it strange that an old Publisher should undertake to write a book, albeit a little one: there was however no such undertaking, but it was rather an overtaking: it was intended to publish Mr. Lowe's valuable article on Copyright, with a few prefatory remarks and a note or two, but during the concoction of said proemials, the writer was overtaken by the importance of the subject, which compelled him, inertia nolente, to convert a preface into nine chapters.
Mr. Lowe's article contains the history of Copyright, down to the year 1819, and its condition at that time.
